65 66 U Joints?

[n8rfastback]

Hey everyone, I need to replace u joints on my 65 fastback. It's the normal 8" rear end and driveshaft that came in the car.

Any idea where I can get them? Part numbers? Can I swing into an advance or autozone and pick them up?

Thanks
Nate

Please don't take offense here, but if you need to ask the simplest question of where to find them, I'm going to guess that you may not have the experience and knowledge of the multiple little tricks and procedures required to replace them without ruining you drive shaft in the process. Find a drive line shop and at least you can save a few bucks by R & R ing the driveshaft yourself and taking it to them. DO NOT over tighten the u-bolts when re-installing.

Not helpful at all. Thanks though.

I need the front one. So far I know it's a dual set with inner, and outer clips. The inner clip sides are 1" O.D.

No one in town carries anything close, so I'll be using a micrometer and measuring mine then ordering one online.

If you can find one ,a 67-68 drive shaft will slip right in and it uses the outer clips instead of the inner clips .I know you can get those joints .A lot of the parts stores do not list older parts like this any more like Oreiliys and even AutoZone ,i have found them at Nappa parts stores though .

This link might help to start looking.

I would venture to bet Spicer makes one, just need to find the cross reference as to which one.

Might try to Google u joint and your year of mustang and click the shopping tab. It will give a long list as well to start as well.

I checked with autozone, advance, napa, and pep boys. They all listed the u joints with outside clips, or they had u joints with both clips but wrong size bearing diameters. They were all 1 1/16". I found them online and ordered some.
